[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 23 Utah State Aggies (23-5, 11-4 MWC) welcome the Air Force Falcons (9-18, 2-13) to Dee Glen Smith Spectrum Friday. Tip is set for 11 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Air Force vs. Utah State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Utah State, No. 23 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, is coming off a 77-73 overtime road win against the Fresno State Bulldogs Tuesday, failing to cover as a 10.5-point favorite. The Aggies are 13-11-2 against the spread (ATS) on the season but just 2-4-1 ATS in their last 7. They have, however, covered 2 straight at home and are 8-3 ATS at home overall.

Air Force lost to the Boise State Broncos 79-48 Tuesday, failing to cover as a 11.5-point underdog. The Falcons are 8-19 ATS on the season and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games, losing 2 of their last 3 games by 29 or more points. The Falcons are led by F Rytis Petraitis, who averages 15.2 points per game.

Air Force at Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah State 82, Air Force 62

Moneyline

PASS.

The Aggies  (-3000) are far too expensive to take on the moneyline. Avoid this one at all costs.

Against the spread

BET UTAH STATE -17.5 (-104).

The Aggies beat 19th-ranked San Diego State by 5 and Boise State by 19 in their last 2 home games. Utah State is 5-4-1 ATS in its last 10 games and has covered 4 of its last 5 at home. The Aggies have 2 (F Great Osobor and G Mason Falslev) of their top 4 players shooting better than 56% from the field, so the consistency is there for them to score and win big.

As mentioned, Air Force lost at home by 31 to Boise State, the team Utah State beat by 19 at home. The Falcons have failed to cover 3 of their last 4 games as underdogs of 9 points or more.

Expect Air Force to again struggle. TAKE UTAH STATE -17.5 (-104).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 137.5 (-106).

If there’s something that both teams have consistently done, it is hit the Over. The Aggies are 15-10-1 O/U on the season and have scored at least 77 in 3 of their last 5 games. They, again, have the scoring to consistently put the ball in the bucket.

Three of the Falcons’ top 4 scorers shoot over 47% from the field as well. They are 11-2 O/U in their last 13 games and 19-8 O/U on the season. Expect both offenses to be able to put points on the board.

BACK OVER 137.5 (-106).

Fresno State at Utah State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Fresno State at Utah State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Fresno State Bulldogs (5-1, 1-1 Mountain West) will take on the Utah State Aggies (3-3, 1-1) on Friday in Week 7 of the college football season at Maverik Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Fresno State vs. Utah State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Bulldogs suffered their 1st loss of the season in a 24-19 defeat against Wyoming on the road in Week 6. Fresno State failed to cover as 6-point favorites and the Over of 42.5 points cashed.

The Aggies cruised to a 44-24 victory over Colorado State in Week 6 to cover as 3-point home underdogs. The Over of 62 points also hit as Utah State is now on a 2-game winning streak after beating the Rams and UConn.

Fresno State at Utah State odds

  • Moneyline (ML): Fresno State -190 (bet $190 to win $100) | Utah State +160 (bet $100 to win $160)
  • Against the spread (ATS): Fresno State -4.5 (-105) | Utah State +4.5 (-115)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 56.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fresno State at Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

Fresno State 34, Utah State 23

Moneyline

Even though the Bulldogs should get back in the win column on Friday night, I’ll PASS on their moneyline in this game. Betting on a team straight up at nearly -200 odds isn’t advised.

Against the spread

BET FRESNO STATE -4.5 (-105).

While the Bulldogs were upset on the road against Wyoming, this is a nice get-right spot for them against the Aggies. Fresno State boasts the 18th-best passing offense (301.7 yards per game) and Utah State is giving up 241.2 YPG passing.

On top of that, the Bulldogs are 2-1 ATS on the road this season and are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 56.5 (-105) is how I’d play the total with Fresno State allowing only 18.17 points per game (24th in the nation). The Bulldogs are also 22nd in time of possession this season, so they’ll try to control the clock and keep the Aggies off of the field in this matchup.

While Utah State has been involved in shootouts this season, Fresno State hasn’t been involved in a game that has had 58-plus total points scored since beating Kent State 53-10 in Week 4.

Utah State at Iowa odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah State at Iowa odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Utah State Aggies travel to Iowa City to battle the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. Kickoff at Kinnick Stadium is at noon ET (FS1). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s (OR FanDuel Sportsbook’s) lines around the Utah State vs. Iowa odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Utah State ranked outside the top-100 last season in both points scored and points allowed. The Aggies averaged 22.2 points per game (104th FBS) while yielding 31.2 PPG (105th) en route to going 6-7. USU returns QB Cooper Legas, but he will arrive in Iowa City without last year’s top rusher (RB Calvin Tyler) and without a couple of top receivers from a year ago.

The Hawkeyes were all defense and no offense last fall. Iowa allowed a nation’s-best 3.99 yards per play. On offense, it averaged 4.24 yards per play (129th). The hopes for a better offense in 2023 come from transfer QB Cade McNamara (2,576 passing yards for Michigan in 2021) and a slew of players returning from injury.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Utah State at Iowa picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa 31, Utah State 7

Moneyline

Avoid all the extra juice here: PASS.

Against the spread

Look for Iowa to get out to a lead with some 50-50 mix on offense and some big plays by its talented defense. How that lead gets managed or perhaps stalled is where this play gets too muddy.

Cap tip to the current line alongside a PASS.

Over/Under

The Under cashed in 9 of 13 Iowa games last season, and 6 of those Unders were by double-digit margins.

Yes, the Iowa offense has some reason for optimism. But McNamara may not play due to what has been reported as a right quad injury. Even if he does play, its easy to envision some growth for the UI offense, some dominance by the Hawkeye defense and a clock-moving-low-play-count game.

An inexperienced USU line just may have too much trouble against the Iowa front 7. Trouble putting 1st downs and drives together may wind up in Utah State getting less-than-14 points, and that’s another way this game lands short of the total.

BACK THE UNDER 43 (-110).

March Madness: Utah State vs. Missouri odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday Utah State vs. Missouri odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 10-seed Utah State Aggies (26-8) face the 7-seed Missouri Tigers (24-9) Thursday in a first round South Region game in the NCAA Tournament. Tip-off from Golden 1 Center in Sacramento is scheduled for 1:40 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Utah State vs. Missouri odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Utah State caught fire at the end of the season, but came up just short in the Mountain West Tournament title game against San Diego State. Still, the Aggies won and covered their final 5 regular-season games, and 8 of the final 10 contests.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch Missouri vs Utah State” link=”https://sling-tv.pxf.io/KjKy3A”]

The Aggies were 3-4 straight-up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in 7 games against NCAA Tournament teams, including 2 wins over conference rival Boise State and another against Oral Roberts in the non-conference schedule.

Missouri picked up a win over Tennessee in the SEC Tournament, before bowing out against Alabama. The Tigers also racked up regular-season resume bolstering wins over Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa State, Kentucky, Mississippi State, SE Missouri State and, again Tennessee, all NCAA Tournament teams.

Utah State vs. Missouri picks and predictions

Prediction

Missouri 82, Utah State 78

Moneyline

MISSOURI (+105) is a solid play at plus-money on the moneyline. This Tigers team has an impressive offense, and they have very few weak spots on the offensive attack. The defense could be a little better, and the lack thereof will help Utah State (-125) in the game.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MISSOURI +1.5 (-108) is only worth playing, instead of the moneyline, if you feel that Utah State -1.5 (+100) is going to win by exactly 1 point. If not, just play Mizzou straight up.

While USU is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 neutral-site games, and 7-1 ATS in the last 8 games overall, the Aggies are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 NCAA Tournament appearances. Mizzou is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 neutral-site contests, too.

Over/Under

OVER 155.5 (-112) is the lean, as both of these teams can roll up huge points, while neither is particularly strong at the defensive end of the floor.

Utah State has posted 79.1 PPG this season, while hitting 48.6% from the field, while knocking down 40.0% from behind the 3-point line. The Aggies are strong from the free-throw line, too, hitting 77.0%, so they don’t leave a lot of points on the floor.

The Aggies are subpar defensively, allowing 70.0 PPG, and it allowed 35.6% from behind the arc, which was in the bottom third in the country.

Mizzou has racked up 80.1 PPG this season, while hitting 47.7% from the field. It is also a solid free-throw shooting team, going for 75.6% from the line. Defensively, it allowed 74.8 PPG, while allowing teams to hit 35.5% from the perimeter.

MWC Tournament: Utah State vs. San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah State vs. San Diego State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah State Aggies (26-7) and San Diego State Aztecs (26-6) tangle for the Mountain West Conference Tournament title Saturday in Las Vegas. The contest at the Thomas & Mack Center will tip off at 6 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Utah State vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Utah State has lost just 3 times since Jan. 17; 2 of those setbacks were against these Aztecs. In a stretch beginning with a MWC tourney loss in 2021, the Aggies have lost 4 of their last 5 to SDSU. Up-tempo USU boasts the most efficient offense in the conference, but the Aggies have been quite good on defense over their last 5 games.

San Diego State — ranked 20th nationally — beat the Aggies by 10 in their 1st meeting (Jan. 25) and 2 in their 2nd (Feb. 8). SDSU plays at a slower pace and has a stifling defense that has allowed just 56.9 points per game over the Aztecs’ last 7.

Utah State vs. San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 67, Utah State 64

Moneyline

LEAN SAN DIEGO STATE (-125).

It would be a better play at -120, but this is within range.

Against the spread

In this series, the favorite has gone 5-2 ATS over the last 7 games.

Coach Brian Dutcher is an edge for the Aztecs. Dutcher has led SDSU into the National Championship Tournament field each of the last 2 years, and the Aztecs would have been a shoo-in for a top-4 seed in 2020.

San Diego State -1.5 (-110), with its stalwart defense, is the lean … but only an actionable one for real value at -1.5 (-105) or better. PASS.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 7 straight SDSU games.

USU’s best chance here is to play this game like it did the Feb. 8 contest when the Aggies lost 63-61 and the Under won by a margin of 22.5 points.

Utah State likes to get points in bunches from beyond the arc, but teams typically find San Diego State to be especially tough against perimeter shots. Look for some scoring spiral from the foul line, but that’s about it.

BACK THE UNDER 137.5 (-110).

Air Force at Utah State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Air Force at Utah State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Air Force Falcons (13-13, 4-9 MWC) and Utah State Aggies (19-7, 8-5) clash Tuesday in Logan. Tip time at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum will be at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Air Force vs. Utah State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Air Force upset New Mexico 89-77 as a 5.5-point underdog Friday. The victory snapped a 6-game losing skid, and the 89 points marked a season-high.

The Aggies covered as 7.5-point favorites in a 77-65 triumph at Air Force on Jan. 3. They have won 3 in a row and 6 of their last 7 against the spread vs. the Falcons. Utah State lost 69-64 at San Jose State Saturday and heads into this game looking to snap a 2-game skid.

Air Force at Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah State 70, Air Force 58

Moneyline

Utah State (-900) is far too steep to warrant a wager. You should never risk 9 times your potential return on a standalone wager, and this is too steep to even add to a parlay.

PASS.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

Utah State is the clear favorite here, but Air Force’s pace (351st nationally) makes a 12.5-point spread tough to overcome. PASS.

Over/Under

The last 6 USAFA-USU games have gone live at lower totals. The Under is 3-1-1 in the Aggies’ last 5 overall.

The Falcons have the perimeter defense to keep the Aggies inside the arc perhaps more than they want to. USU has had some big shooting nights in the last 4 weeks or so. The Aggies are in fade territory in that category, and a lower total here is the play.

San Diego State at Utah State picks and predictions

San Diego State 69, Utah State 68

In a low-scoring game that could go down to the wire, the suggestion here is to pay for the underdog point. Of the 2 plays below, the Under has the strongest leverage. PASS.

Against the spread

The Aztecs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against over-.500 opponents while the Aggies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games against foes playing .600 ball.

SDSU essentially led the 1st meeting by double digits for nearly 30 minutes. Other recent comps for this match-up include a 75-66 Aztecs loss at Nevada 2 games back. Rebounding was an uncharacteristic SDSU problem in that one, and that was a close game that went sideways in the final minute.

USU relies on the frequency and accuracy of its distance attack. San Diego State held the Aggies to an 11-of-33 mark in the 1st go-around. Look for the AZTECS +2.5 (-115) to be the value play Wednesday.

Over/Under

SDSU is 5-1 on the road. The Under is 8-0-1 in the Aggies last 9 home games against teams with a winning road record.

San Diego State has played a challenging schedule and one tilted toward offense. Yet the Aztecs have still hoisted top-20 defensive-efficiency numbers.

BACK THE UNDER 146.5 (-110).

Utah State at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 79, Utah State 71

Moneyline

The moneyline is OTB at the time of publication.

However, San Diego State will be too expensive to make a standalone wager. There’s absolutely no value in playing heavy favorites, even in a multi-team parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

SAN DIEGO STATE -6.5 (-115) is the way to go based on the series trends.

The home team has cashed at a 15-5-1 ATS clip in the past 21 meetings in this series, while the favorite has hit in 4 of the past 5 outings.

Utah State is 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games overall and is 0-4 ATS in the past 4 games against teams with a winning overall record.

Over/Under

OVER 144.5 (-110) is worth a look in this MWC battle.

The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games overall for Utah State, while going 4-0 in its last 4 games on the road. The Over is 12-5 in the previous 17 games for San Diego State at home, too.

Utah State at Air Force picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah State 71, Air Force 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Utah State is the better side, and it is 2-0 straight up on the road. At (-350), I would ultimately pass here.

Against the spread

BET AIR FORCE +7.5 (-115).

The Falcons have been rewarding for bettors over their last 9 games, posting an 8-1 ATS record. They are 3-1 ATS over that span as an underdog as well.

Air Force also has a defense that ranks 50th in opponents’ points per game (63) and 90th in opponents’ FG percentage (41%) which suggests its defense is good enough to keep things close.

Although Utah State is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games with a spread, it is just 1-1 ATS on the road this season. The defensive strength of the Falcons should limit the Aggies’ efficiency offense.

Back AIR FORCE +7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 135.5 (-110).

Utah State is 8-5 O/U this season while Air Force is 8-7 O/U, so both teams have consistently rewarded those backing the Over. The Aggies average 83.8 points per game and should play at a high pace. They are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games.

Air Force is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games and averages 69 points per game. It also ranks top 75 in FG percentage (47.3%) and 3-point FG percentage (36.6%).

Considering the offensive efficiency by both teams, back the OVER 136.5 (-110).
